FastStone Capture is a powerful, lightweight yet full-featured screen capture and screen video recording tool. It allows you to easily capture and annotate everything on your screen, including windows, objects, menus, full-screen, rectangular / handwritten / fixed areas, and scrolling windows / web pages. In addition, the program allows you to record on-screen actions, including screen changes, speech into the microphone, sound from the speaker, from the webcam, mouse movements and clicks, into highly compressed video files. Snapshots can be sent to an editor, file, clipboard, printer, email, OneNote / Word / Excel / PowerPoint document or uploaded to your website. Editing tools include adding annotations (text, arrows, highlights), resizing, cropping, sharpening, creating watermarks, applying edge effects and more. Other features include screen fixing, text capture, image scanning, global hotkeys, automatic file name creation, support for external editors, color proofing, on-screen magnifier, on-screen viewfinder, and on-screen ruler.

FastStone Capture saves images in BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, TGA, TIFF, WEBP, FSC and PDF formats. The built-in screen recorder saves videos in MP4 and WMV formats.
